Relevant Local Fatwā on The Issues of Using Human Tissues in Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering Experimentation

In articular cartilage tissue engineering (ACTE) experimentation, the researchers have utilised cells and tissues sampled from human donor for research purposes. The may be harvested living donor’s discarded through a medical procedure, e.g. total knee replacement surgery. small pieces of sample taken are essential to study regeneration treating joint disease, i.e. osteoarthritis. However, procedure has raised some ethical fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) concerns. was done by utilising secondary analysis local Muslim jurists’ opinions (fatwā) related sampling biological samples. This paper explores scenarios using cell sources existing fatwā jurists (fuqahā`). include: (1) taking samples donor, (2) discarding tissue, as practised in ACTE experimentation. current shown that honouring every part body is considered Islam. utilise donors alternatives studying regeneration. donation purposes obtained permissible, should stipulated terms conditions were observed, does not cause any additional harm donor.
